Our dumpster sizes

Dumpster rental — or bin rental, as many Montrealers call it — for the big cleanout, an estate, a renovation or a demolition: dry materials, soil, concrete, bricks, asphalt and more.

10 cubic yards

14' long × 8' wide × 2.5' high · 3 to 4 pickup-truck loads

A 20-yard filled halfway: same footprint, just lower — choosing it won't free up space in a short driveway.

Bathroom renovation
Garage and house cleanout
Small shed demolition

For guidance only — the exact size cannot be guaranteed.

20 cubic yards

14' long × 8' wide × 5' high · 6 to 8 pickup-truck loads

About the size of a Dodge Caravan — you can already picture it

Kitchen or bathroom renovation

40 cubic yards

20' long × 8' wide × 7' high · 12 to 16 pickup-truck loads

Choose the right type of dumpster

Size is not the whole story: dumpsters are rented by material type. Each type goes to a different disposal facility — that is why mixed loads bring extra fees. One choice to make, five options:

Dry materials (mixed)

10, 20 and 40 cubic yards

The do-it-all dumpster: wood, drywall, metal, shingles, furniture — mixed, no problem.

Soil, rocks and sod only

20 yard — the only size offered

Excavation, grading, sod removal — soil, rocks and sod, nothing else.

Concrete only

20 yard — the only size offered

Walkways, slabs, foundations — broken concrete, nothing else.

Bricks and mortar only

20 yard — the only size offered

Walls, chimneys, masonry facing — bricks and mortar, nothing else.

Asphalt only

20 yard — the only size offered

Old torn-up paving, curb pieces — asphalt, nothing else.

Why it matters. A dumpster rented for concrete that shows up at the disposal facility with wood in it is refused at the concrete rate: the sorting gets billed back. If you have several types of materials, say so in the form or at 514 708-2424 — we point you to the right type, or to two dumpsters when that costs less than sorting fees.

Strictly refused, in every dumpster

Tires

Paint and solvents refused in every dumpster

Frequently asked questions — L'Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève

Do I need a permit to place a dumpster in L'Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève?

On your own lot, the Montréal framework applies: placing a dumpster on private land is not subject to a municipal permit — it is the public domain that triggers one. The borough itself has published nothing yet on this precise point: its block on the « Installer un conteneur à déchets » page reads « Renseignements à venir » (5 boroughs out of 19 are in that situation). One call to 311 or to the permit counter settles it in a minute. On the street, however, the temporary occupation permit is explicit: it names containers on the public road — streets, lanes, sidewalks, bike paths, medians, public squares and parks.

How much are the municipal fees for a dumpster on the street?

Taxes included, at the rates posted on August 17, 2026: 50.80 $ to issue the permit and 56.70 $ in review fees, then 65 $ per day for up to 49 m² of street or sidewalk. Five days therefore start at 432.50 $ — « start at », because the source also publishes an obstruction rate (43.70 $ per day for a lane of 3 m or less, local or arterial road) without saying whether it is added; the official estimate appears in the summary of the online application. A detail worth money: the unpaved surface, back-of-sidewalk strip or lane costs 50.80 $ per day — less than the street. Posted processing time: 2 business days. The schedule is annual.

Does the Jacques-Bizard bridge change anything about delivery?

It changes the planning, not the service. The city writes it plainly: « the Jacques-Bizard bridge is the only road link between L'Île-Bizard and the island of Montréal », carrying about 30,000 vehicles a day. The new bridge, in service since November 13, 2024, has four lanes — one more than the old one — and access on the mainland side is via boulevard de Pierrefonds. In practice: we avoid the bridge's peak hours and confirm the delivery window with you. During the Presidents Cup at the Royal Montréal Golf Club in September 2024, the official instruction for the screening system was, notably, to « let lettered trucks through without a permit sticker ».

Can the municipal drop-off site replace a dumpster?

For a trailer-load, yes — and it is a service only this borough offers. At 985 montée de l'Église, residents drop off their construction debris free of charge, twice a year per address, on proof of residence, up to 1.5 m × 3 m × 1.5 m per visit — 6.75 m³, about 8.8 cubic yards, less than a 10 yard dumpster. The site opens only on Tuesday and Thursday, and a hired contractor must be accompanied by the resident on site. The city says it itself: this is a « service de dépannage » — a stopgap for small quantities — and the other options should be favoured. For scale: a 10 yard box holds 7.6 m³, a 20 yard 15.3 m³, a 40 yard 30.6 m³.

Where is the nearest ecocentre, and with what limits?

None of the seven ecocentres in the Montréal network is located in the borough, or anywhere else in the West Island. The nearest in the network is Saint-Laurent, at 3535 rue Sartelon — one of only two, with LaSalle, where visits are unlimited. The agglomeration rules apply there: 12 m³ of construction debris free per year (about 15.7 cubic yards), then 31 $ per m³; « ecocentre staff do not help with unloading » and « no mechanical means (e.g. tipping box) may be used ». Closed Mondays; in winter, open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. and closed Sundays. A 20 yard box (15.3 m³) uses up almost the whole quota in one go — and every trip from the island crosses the bridge.

My property has a septic system: where do you put the dumpster?

Anywhere but on the leaching field — and the borough itself asks for that. Part of the territory is not connected to the municipal sewer: the borough issues septic and well permits, and its info sheet requires every treatment system (tank, field, etc.) to be located in a spot « free of motor traffic » and « accessible for pump-outs ». A loaded truck and a dumpster full of aggregate are exactly what a leaching field cannot take. Tell us when you book: together we choose a spot that spares the field — and the truck's path too.

Can I leave the dumpster on the street in winter?

The published rules target vehicles: street parking is banned at night, between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m., from December 1 to April 1, across the whole borough, as well as « during or for 24 hours after a snowfall of more than 2.5 centimetres » and during snow clearing. No page consulted names dumpsters — but a roadway closed every winter night leaves practically no room for a street occupation: the private driveway is the realistic path, and 311 settles edge cases. Think of the tempo shelter too: allowed without a permit from October 15 to April 15, but strictly « in the residence's parking space » — so the dumpster's spot gets decided before the shelter goes up.

And elsewhere? We checked the permit rule in every city we serve, by-law in hand — because it is never the same from one city to the next.

What our drivers know before crossing the bridge

Here the private driveway is the rule, by a wide margin. At the 2016 census, 61.1% of the borough's 6,945 occupied private dwellings were single-detached houses — against 50.8% in neighbouring Pierrefonds-Roxboro at the same census, and 7.1% for the city of Montréal as a whole at the 2021 census. Add 74% homeowner households and a density of 780.2 people per km² (2016), more than three times lower than Pierrefonds-Roxboro's 2,560.9 from the same census, and the picture reads at a glance from the truck: wide lots, long driveways, and almost never any need for the street. A 20 yard box, roughly the size of a Dodge Caravan, fits without trapping the car; the 10 yard equals a 20 yard filled halfway — same footprint, simply lower.

The second thing we know is the age of the houses. Two brackets published in the census profile add up: 2,105 dwellings built from 1961 to 1980 and 1,890 from 1981 to 1990 — together 3,995 of 6,930, or 57.7%. A stock now 35 to 65 years old: the age of the second roof, the original kitchen, the basement to finish and the windows to replace. And the houses are big — 37.5% have 8 rooms or more, 30.9% have 4 bedrooms or more — so demolition volumes are big too: a 20 yard box is not oversized here. At the same census, 380 dwellings (5.5%) already needed major repairs.

Two local details our drivers settle on the phone. Part of the territory is not connected to the municipal sewer — the borough issues septic and well permits, and its info sheet requires every treatment system (tank, field, etc.) to sit in a spot that is « exempt de circulation motorisée » — free of motor traffic. If your property has a septic system, tell us when you book: the box and the truck both keep clear of the leaching field. And the census counts 135 mobile homes: in a mobile-home park, the borough's permit form requires the park owner's written authorization — an approval to get before delivery. On every surface, the PROTEC-O-SOL planks come with each box and spread the load: nothing to supply, nothing extra to pay.

Contractors and property managers in the borough

No industrial park is documented in L'Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève. What the sources establish is residential, heritage and farmland: the village of Sainte-Geneviève at the foot of the Jacques-Bizard bridge, its well-preserved heritage buildings singled out by Montréal's Opération patrimoine architectural, the Gérald-Godin CEGEP and the Salle Pauline-Julien on the mainland side — and, on the western half of the island, the first « paysage humanisé » protected area in Québec, in force since September 30, 2021, covering most of the island's agricultural zone. Our rotations are built for that reality: 40 yard dumpsters for job sites that move, photo tracking of every delivery, SMS notifications at drop-off and pick-up, and the 50 $ Libération Express credit when the box is freed within 48 hours of delivery, March through October.

The local rules sort the business clientele out on their own. The municipal bulky-waste and construction-debris collection is for individuals only: « businesses, stores, schools, churches, embassies and organizations must deal with a private company ». At the borough's own drop-off site, a contractor does not get in alone — the resident who hires him must accompany him on site with proof of residence. At the ecocentre, construction businesses pay 31 $ per m³, unloaded by hand, tipping boxes prohibited. Work hours are wide — 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays — with one rule none of the other 18 boroughs has: « À Sainte-Geneviève, ces travaux peuvent être effectués entre 7 h et 20 h » — in Sainte-Geneviève, this work may be carried out between 7 a.m. and 8 p.m. The rule covers the work, not the dumpster delivery. Since every delivery to the island crosses the Jacques-Bizard bridge, we schedule rotations off-peak and confirm the window with you. One last published detail: during work, if the bins are not accessible to collection crews, the work company may move them to ease collection.

In winter the tempo shelter takes the dumpster's spot — choose first

From October 15 to April 15, the temporary car shelter is allowed without any permit — and the by-law says exactly where it goes: « in the residence's parking space », at least 0.75 m from the rear and side lot lines and 1.5 m from a fire hydrant, in white translucent fabric, the metal frame fully dismantled off-season. In other words, for six months a year the tempo stands precisely where the dumpster would naturally land. In a borough where 61.1% of dwellings are detached houses, the room exists — but it gets chosen before the shelter goes up: the side yard, the back, or the portion of the driveway left free. A winter job here starts with that one decision.

On the street, the published rules target vehicles: overnight parking is banned between 1 a.m. and 7 a.m., from December 1 to April 1, across the whole borough — and at any hour « during or for 24 hours after a snowfall of more than 2.5 centimetres » or during snow-clearing operations. No page consulted names dumpsters — but a roadway closed every winter night leaves practically no room for a street occupation: the private driveway is the realistic path, and 311 settles edge cases. The truly local fact fits in one month: neighbouring Pierrefonds-Roxboro starts its winter ban on November 1; here it runs from December 1 to April 1.

Why the drop-off centre is not enough in L'Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève

None of the seven ecocentres in the Montréal network is located in the borough — or anywhere else in the West Island. But L'Île-Bizard–Sainte-Geneviève holds a card no one else has: its own municipal drop-off site, at 985 montée de l'Église. Residents drop off construction, renovation and demolition debris there free of charge, twice a year per address, on proof of residence. The city itself calls it a « service de dépannage » — a stopgap service for small quantities — and writes that the other options should be favoured. Here are the limits, in numbers.

The rule	What it means for a job site
6.75 m³ per visit, two visits a year	1.5 m × 3 m × 1.5 m, « the equivalent of a standard-size trailer » — about 8.8 cubic yards, less than a 10 yard dumpster
Open Tuesday and Thursday only	7:30 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. and 1:15 p.m. to 3:45 p.m., closed the other five days — the site is first a workplace for municipal crews
A contractor cannot get in alone	The resident who hires one « must accompany him on site » to present proof of residence in person
The nearest ecocentre is outside the West Island	Saint-Laurent, 3535 rue Sartelon — one of only two in the network, with LaSalle, where visits are unlimited; closed Mondays, and Sundays in winter
Everything is unloaded by hand	« Ecocentre staff do not help with unloading » and « no mechanical means (e.g. tipping box) may be used »
The free quota melts fast	12 m³ of construction debris per year (about 15.7 cubic yards), then 31 $ per m³ — a 20 yard box (15.3 m³) uses it up almost entirely in one go

At the curb, the fallback is thin. Household garbage explicitly refuses « construction, demolition and renovation debris: wood, gypsum, bricks, concrete, asphalt shingles, cement, ceramics, stone, rock, etc. », along with soil and peat. The bulky-waste and construction-debris collection, reserved for individuals, is capped at 5 m³ per address — about 6.5 cubic yards, two thirds of a 10 yard box — in 25 kg containers and one-metre bundles, and « the black so-called "construction" bags and the white nylon bags sold in hardware stores are prohibited as containers ». One genuine exclusive remains: of the 19 boroughs, this is the only one to offer, for any excess, a drop-off in the municipal garage yard — free twice a year, then a 25 $ minimum for the first m³ and 11.80 $ per additional m³. A bathroom demolition squeezes through; a kitchen, a basement or a roof does not. The space that is missing is exactly what a dumpster provides.
